Polygonatum stalks are adorned with rows of bell-like flowers that dangle beneath the arching stems.

While polygonatum prefer rich soil and part shade, they are also very tolerant of adverse conditions. When your Solomon's seal clumps are large enough to divide, remember that rhizomes without growing points will not produce any new growth until the following spring. Try pairing your Solomon's Seal with other woodland garden plants such as Hosta, Carex, Aspidistra, Woodland Phlox, Heuchera and Arisaema.

The genus polygonatum has the common name Solomon's seal, after the biblical figure King Solomon. The genus name Polygonatum is Latin for "many knees" and is named for the knobby rootstock.
